The game plays flawlessly. There was only one bug encountered when playing through the different modes:
- The game automatically unpauses when the Xbox controller turns off or disconnects, so leaving the game on idle prolongedly while paused is dangerous because 1) it can unpause while you’re away and the controller turns off or 2) if you move too far away from your console with controller in hand and it disconnects. One way to bypass this issue is by pausing the game and entering the options menu. While in the options menu, the game will not unpause even if controller is turned off or disconnected.
Overall excellent build on disc for an excellent shmup.
